Well, I did say pretty much and we are talking boas, not BP's.
I would agree with you that snakes with significant body girth are likely unable to pass their bodies through what they can barely pass their head through. Many people overfeed their snakes. We've all seen the pics of large body, small head boas posted all over the internet. All of my boas including the females are raised slow and kept lean. Those snakes (my personal experience) can get their bodies through a gap not much larger than their heads. Heck, I've had a male boa escape from a locked boaphile cage. Center latched but corner unlatched....
Yeah, he flexed the door so not the same as a fixed gap.
I'm sorry for your loss, musta been hard to come home to finding your son's BP had died that way.
